The suspect entered the restaurant and approached the victim, a 51-year-old male, requesting a light for his cigarette. The man refused, but another customer offered the suspect a lighter. He walked out shortly afterwards.

A couple minutes later, the antagonizer returned to the store and began to beat the victim, punching him in his face and ribs. The second suspect walks in and steals the victim’s wallet out from his pocket, which held $300 in cash as well as his ID.

The victim eventually managed to grab his umbrella, which had fallen on the floor, and fight back with increasing vigor, whacking the assailants away. At this time, the suspects began to back off and eventually fled the scene.

The victim was injured in the attack, sustaining injuries to his forehead and ribs. He did not receive medical attention for them.
